Discuss anything and everything related to the Transformers Live Action Films franchise, which are directed by Michael Bay. Transformers 3 is scheduled to be released on July 1st, 2011. Check out our Live Action Film section here.

As Mark Wahlberg makes the rounds promoting his latest film Broken City he continues to drop small tidbits of Transformers 4 news. In this interview with examiner he mentions that Transformers 4 will be filming between the end of May and September. Not the biggest news, but good to hear things are moving right along.

Will you have to put more weight on for “Transformers 4”?

Wahlberg: Well I took a month off – I just started working out, I’m in my 4th week now – hopefully we’ll do “Avon Man” before “Transformers," which is this comedy we have at Fox that we’ve been developing; it’s kind of like my first romantic comedy.

Can you tell us anything about “Transformers 4” or “Ted 2”?

Wahlberg: I could tell you that we’re doing “Transformers” starting at the end of May, and then “Ted” in September. You know I can’t give you too many story points or Michael will not be happy. But I can tell you that I’m very excited, obviously I had a great working relationship with Michael on “Pain & Gain”.

you really thought they weren't?

to me Ted feels like a live action version of Family Guy, it had the same sense of humour, same obsession with the 80s, featured a few FG actors in roles and of course they even had Patrick Stewart!! granted he's more an "American Dad" guy but he's been on FG enough, most recently being the "voice" of Joe's daughter.

oh and they even brought over the gag about the european guy who doesnt grasp the english language perfectly! lol

the only difference between the two was the fact the movie didn't need to bleep all the language. sure Family Guy doest have as much on a given episode but thats only because its on network tv. if this had been a cable show or some DTV / internet thing...it would be just as bad. all you have to do is marathon the dvds and you see just how bad the language is. these days there's some swearing at least once in practically every episode. lol

to me, this movie was McFarlane finally able to do what he wants without restriction.

anyway..different strokes and all that, was just in a pointless rant mood.
